Microsoft Visio Alternative –
Finally, simple process management
Visio is undoubtedly a versatile and useful tool for visualizing processes and diagrams. It offers a wide range of functions for creating flowcharts, organizational charts, and other visual representations. However, there are some reasons why Visio alone may not be sufficient when it comes to comprehensive process management, especially in complex business environments.
The Visio Problem Beautiful drawings that hardly anyone knows or uses!
In Microsoft Visio, modelers have hundreds of shapes at their disposal, all of which can be customized individually. This allows the creation of even the most complex process drawings. However, these are often only understood by the modeler themselves. The storage and publication of these drawings for all employees in the company also pose a problem, as Visio is installed as a local program on the modeler's computer. Exported files must be re-exported and uploaded to the appropriate locations each time a change is made.
Visio Alternative aiio - Process management that can reach all employees
aiio uses a reduced BPMN 2.0 shape set that is intuitive to understand.
As a cloud solution in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, the modeled processes from aiio are easily accessible to all employees at any time and are always up to date.
Linking documents and roles - so much easier than with Visio
Processes and process elements such as tasks or events usually involve responsibilities. It often makes sense to record these. Many companies choose to work with roles instead of using specific individuals. This visualization is still possible in Visio, albeit very complex and not particularly user-friendly. However, the link to which person in the company is currently performing the role is missing. In aiio, this is very simple. All shapes on the drawing can be enriched with metadata via the sidebar.
Visio alternative for Mac - no problem as a web application
Our Visio alternative aiio works as a web application directly in the browser, such as Google Chrome. So no program needs to be downloaded to the computer. In addition, you can also use aiio directly in Microsoft Teams as an app. You can also log in with your account from different devices - no matter when and where you want.
Visio Online Alternative - More clarity, please!
Visio has also been available as a web application for some time with a significantly reduced range of functions. You can use Visio Online from any device, provided you have purchased a Visio plan for each of your users. However, the problems of the unclear assignment of responsibilities, which the classic Visio Professional also has, remain.
The simplest Visio alternative is aiio:
